The 'joy' of console is, or at least should be, a relatively level playing field in terms of hardware and this for me, includes input device.
Many feel, including me, see M&K on console as a form of cheating or at least gaining an unfair advantage over controller users.
If M&K is enabled, then users should be identified by a symbol in a similar way as to how PS4 and PS5 users are.
Oh and INB4 (said in a whiney voice)"But DICE have said it's not cheating....."

I'm intrigued why you feel this way, please mind to elaborate?
It's simple really, the control one gains by using the the entire arm and hand on a mouse is far superior that using just your thumb on a joystick.
To move right for example, is just one movement for a mouse to the right.
With a joystick, it requires a movement right but then a movement left back to centre.
M&K can still use scripts.
For such an anti Aim Assist advocate, I'm surprised that you support a superior aiming device, bizarre.....

So does some controllers with auto fire and auto jump.
Ppl will cheat no matter what.
But I would suggest you to go try Cod Mw with m&k and then come back here saying it's an advantage.

Why it's true I'm against the use of aim assist in video games without special considerations, I'm not at all biased towards input devices. I'm perfectly happy with using a controller without aim assist against someone using a mouse & keyboard, but that's only my opinion, I'm not at all trying to affect other people's beliefs.
I'm what you call a true, unbiased person or try to be, I'm only human. I don't care what others do or use themselves, as long as they don't try to pass it off as "the best" quote. Just because I use something, Why would someone else want to?
I'm a personal believer that each individual is unique. Saying a mouse & keyboard is superior is something I can't come to terms with. Writing off a human input device as definitive goes against everything I know.
I'm a music producer by day, gamer by night. I've been playing piano for 20+ years, I use all manner of devices. What works for me, doesn't necessarily mean it will for the next person.
I think that's why most people come back at me with rhetorical replies. They have never conveyed with a truly unbiased person. My arguments are not meant to be taken as an attack, but more on the means of my personal opinion, nothing more.
With gaming being mostly a relaxing enjoyment of free pass time, I say let everyone enjoy their input device of choice, without affecting others.
Lets equally hope then that PunkBuster, VAC, Battleye and the whole army of anti cheats are enabled from Day 0, to take good care of all those MnK peddlers. :o)
